Every day is all there is. Show up. Do the work. Thereā€™s lots you can do to make a difference. Be intentional about your phones and screens and doomscrolling. You have to stay fabulous. Hold fast, friends. āš“ļø #JoyIsAFormOfResistance

Sit down with your family & friends, have a serious conversation about the state of the United States right now; what Trump's actions mean for your future. Let them know this isn't about politics but ultimately the survival of you as a country, nation, and people. This is a war. #3E

Advance Data Protection will no longer be available in the UK through Apple. This means that a UK account could gain access to a US account, and pass that information on to the US government, effectively circumventing US legal protections on surveillance. www.ianbetteridge.com/apples-advan...

Just sitting here trying to go about my daily routine while the president of the United States wages a 3 week sustained terrorist attack onā€¦the United States.

Elon Musk would have definitely cut all the lifeboats from the Titanic because it would look more ā€œhardcore.ā€

Hypocrisy is a virtue to fascists.

Sometimes, "Move fast, break things," just results in a lot of broken things.

Evidently Elon doesnā€™t think itā€™s important to touch grass.

What is the difference between inalienable rights and conditional privileges? If a politician can take them away, then they are not inalienable or rights.

Elon, et al. are out to privatize everythingā€”as much as possible. Why do you think that is? As you consider your answer remember: Government finance prioritizes accountability & transparency, while private-sector finance focuses on profitability & shareholder value. Whoā€™s in this administration?

Who voted for this?

WTF.

This man has no expertise in these areas, and no shortage of hubris.

NEW ANALYSIS: Politicization of the U.S. Marshals Service poses a real threat to our democracy by undermining the independence of government officials and signaling an endorsement of violence, as long as it aligns with President Trump's ends.

The thing that is most valuable in this economy is not your data, or lack thereof. It likely isnā€™t scarce. What is valuable is your attention and time. Those 2 things canā€™t be copied or replicated. Our consciousness is our ability to direct our attention where we want it. 1/2 #PSA

The world's first year above 1.5C is a sign it's "virtually certain" we're entering a 20-year period where the planet breaches that threshold

After years of layoffs and cutbacks, tech workers have lost trust in their employers. Federal employees may face the same fate after cuts from the White House.

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

ICYMI: The pups from Team Fluff weren't the only winners. See freeze-frame highlights from the 21st edition of the Puppy Bowl.

Oh, FFS.

Thank you, Canada. šŸ

U.S. Treasury threat intelligence report labeled Elon Muskā€™s Department of Government Efficiency staff "the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced"

Canadian TV host: How are you today? Me: We kinda got some stuff going on but swell, how about you Canadian TV Host: [look of pity]

Bird flu is now spreading from birds to pets to people, but Donald doesn't want you to know that because it might make him look bad.

The SAVE Act (H.R. 22)ā€™s addā€™l documentation requirements has the potential to dramatically reshape the US electorate. Married women, the elderly, young individuals, Hispanic citizens, & low-income registrants will have the most trouble registering to vote. responsivegov.org/research/the...

Be mindful of your screen time, digital diet, and #MentalHealth I highly recommend WTFJHT (for news reported) and @democracydocket.com (for voting & courts info) to cut through the nonsense. Stay informed without wasting your time on outrage, hot takes, or even the way certain leaders speak.

Nothing to see hereā€¦

NEW: The removal of the DOJā€™s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administrationā€™s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record. By @alecmac.bsky.social

Trump appointees at the Environmental Protection Agency notified staff members that they plan to close the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights and place its employees on administrative leave, according to people familiar with the matter.

While some information has been restored, scientists are still alarmed over the removal of data. It's not clear what has changed, and some pages remain offline.

This plaque in Prague has been rubbed to a shiny gold because for centuries, passersby have touched the dog for good luck, and also to reassure him that he's a very good boy. 14/10

Your Daily Affirmation: I am grateful that I, personally, am not on fire at the moment, because some days, you have to be grateful for the good on a curve. Also grateful for waffles, our delicious gridly friends.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov This is a much more relevant and effective message than telling folks guacamole is made of avocados and Corona beer is imported from Mexico. Stop talking down to the American public.

No biggie, just an ancient equivalent of a clay photograph that shows a man walking his dog 3,800 years ago in the city of Borsippa šŸ„¹
